Abstract

Since the 1980s, each decade has been warmer than the last. The nine years from 2014 through 2022 were the nine warmest years on record. The results of these temperature trends are familiar at this point: Ice sheets are shrinking. Glaciers are retreating at an increasing rate. Sea levels are rising. Ocean acidification is intensifying. As climate change progresses, the Earth will experience worse flooding, harsher droughts, and more severe hurricanes. Yet, there is still time to mitigate the worst impacts of climate change— time to repair the roof.
